On tap at the brewpub. Pours a hazy deep orange with a thin white head. Aroma of crystal malt, citrus, tropical fruits. Flavor is fruitier than aroma with lots of banana, grapefruit, and orange with some maltiness in the finish. Alcoholic fruit aftertones. Overall, a fruity ipa and pretty drinkable (the chalkboard specifically noted that this was the "new" ipa so I would disregard the first rating of this beer). 6/4/7/4/14 (3.5/5)

Pours a burnt sugar color, not much head. Great even aroma, Very good citrus taste. Represents the style nicely. They changed recipes recently and I say they have a winner now. In fact I was so pleased I grabbed a Growler of it

Tap at Big Texan. Pours a murky light golden yellow color. Foamy white head. Aroma is slighty rotten, milky with some celery. Flavor is mainly dry, I guess there is a small amount of hops in it but it is dry and vegetal. Not a good representation of the style. Probably near the bottom of the keg but this was generally unpleasant.
